Configuring Basic Functions of MSDP

All the configuration tasks should be carried out on RPs in PIM-SM domains, and each of these RPs
acts as an MSDP peer.

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring the basic functions of MSDP, complete the following tasks:
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
Configuring PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast forwarding.
Before configuring the basic functions of MSDP, prepare the following data:
IP addresses of MSDP peers
Address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy

Enabling MSDP

Follow these steps to enable MSDP globally
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IP multicast routing
Enable MSDP and enter MSDP
view
For details about the multicast routing-table command, see Multicast Routing and Forwarding
Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.

Creating an MSDP Peer Connection

An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair, namely the address of the local MSDP
peer and that of the remote MSDP peer. An MSDP peer connection must be created on both devices
that are a pair of MSDP peers.
Follow these steps to create an MSDP peer connection:
Use the command...
